When spell checkers are *not* your friend

[donutsweeper]

Dear Mr. Spellchecker,

Gibbs talking about being threatened by an ex-wife with cast iron is a smidge different than being threatened with castration.  The latter probably would have made him a bit more upset.  Quit trying to change it in my story.

*gigglesnort* That's one of those wonderful 'does the computer know what I'm writing about?' moments. Because I bet at least one of them threatened him with castration.

It's like when I used to rpg and there was a character named Kenadie. Every time I typed the name, the Spellchecker would politely ask if I meant 'gonads'. That always amused me. :-)

actually- you're probably right, I'm sure the subject came up once or twice.

How did it get gonads from Kenadie? Sometimes spell checkers amaze me.

Usually, when I am spelling something wrong it can't come up with anything close to the word I meant to spell. *sigh*

Castrating Gibbs!!!??

Tony would be very, very upset...

*hee hee*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oh boy would he be, Gibbs too I'm sure!

Unless, of course, the cast iron is heated and being used to threaten castration.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*nods* good point. You are very wise in these matters

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It's frightening, isn't it?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

you should consider yourself proud

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Well, thank you.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

It's an impressive skill to have!

Finding methods of torture in seemingly innocuous objects?

or creating clever quips out of the most ordinary of situations

Well, I do pride myself in getting that "wtf?" look from people.

I totally get that from my dad.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

that's a good look

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I especially love when it's followed by laughter. It's all about catching them off guard.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*cackles evilly* oh yeah

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Your icon is so appropriate...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I had to check and see what LJ picked, yep it works quite well

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

LJ knows us so well.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

gotta love LJ!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Most of the time, at least.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

ah, true that, sometimes it's persnickety

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It definitely has it's days.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

both good and bad days, but more often than not I'm happy with it

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Especially when it picks the combination of Tony and a donut in icon form...*sits back and admires*.
